Helping You Manage Pain With the Right Medication
Not everything can be managed interventionally. We offer comprehensive non-opiod medication management.
NSAIDs are common but powerful pain relievers. When used properly and in high enough doses, they can provide significant relief. Examples include Ibuprofen and Naproxen.
Muscle tightness and poor sleep are common problems for those suffering from acute or chronic pain. Muscle relaxers can loosen tight muscles and help patients get some much needed rest. Examples include Tizanidine and Flexeril.
Nerve pain medications help to reduce the frequency and intensity of shooting nerve pain in conditions like lumbar and cervical radiculopathy. Examples include Gabapentin and Lyrica.
Lidocaine patches are an effective way to deliver local anesthetic topically to numb painful areas.
Compounded pain creams are prescribed by your doctor and then manufactured by local compounding pharmacies. Virtually any combination of medications can be compounded and applied topically to painful areas. Topical application of medications has the added benefit of avoiding common systemic side effects like sedation.
